Phase 1: You write but hardly anyone views or likes
Phase 2: You continue writing more, but result is the same, you want views/likes/shares/followers, you start tagging influencers who write more, this is where most people give up, or stay for a long time
Phase 3: You stop writing for likes/views/shares/followers people start to read what you write, people start to follow you
Phase 4: People wait to read what you write, trollers try to discourage you, you either get discouraged or continue to write, views/likes/shares/followers/connection requests/messages shoot up. At some point you may face a writers block here
Phase 5: Trollers vanish & even if they dont, its just you, your writing & those who love reading what you write
Phase 6: Dont know what happens here, probably you become a linkedin influencer
Writing or Living on linkedin is very akin to "Living" or "Working" in life. You can enter from Phase 3 as well. Interestingly your first degree connections dont help much, very few of them like your posts till phase 4. There are no timelines
Where are you stuck?
